The "A" in IPA stands for "ale." If you brew an IPA with a lager yeast you're likely to end up with something short of what most of us understand to be an "ale." Such is the case here where yeasted, slightly sulfury overtones inhibit the formation of a cohesive IPA. In addition, hop flavor is minimal and hop aroma is absent.

SOB's IPA is chicken yellow with filtered clarity. But its intrusive yeasted qualities make it hardly discernable as an IPA.
